Waite was a prolific author of occult texts on subjects including divination, Rosicrucianism, freemasonry, fl and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated and reissued several important mystical and alchemical works.
Waite is best known as the co-creator of the popular and widely used Rider-Waite Tarot deck and author of its companion volume, the Pictorial Key to the Tarot.

 Arthur Edward Waite
They were not well off and Waite was educated first at small private schools in North London and then, from the age of thirteen, at St. Charles's College.
Waite had always been biased in favour of 'the path of the Mystic' as distinct from that of the Occultist, so he did not see eye to eye with Mathers and never felt at home in the original Golden Dawn ambiance.
Waite was vague in manner; he would say, 'Do I like mustard, Vigilate?' and she would have to tell him.

Waite was received into the Golden Dawn in January 1891 although his attendance and involvement was sporadic.
This society, the Independent and Rectified Rite of the Golden Dawn, was soon torn by further feuds and was dissolved by Waite in 1914, to be replaced by the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross in 1915.
By this time there were some half dozen offshoots of the Original Golden Dawn, Waite's version being a minor note in the main theme continued by the Order of the Stella Matutina of non-mason, Dr. R.

 Spiral Nature - Reviews - Book Reviews - Arthur Edward Waite
Waite writes: ‘It is regrettable in several respects that I must confess to certain reservations, but there is a question of honour at issue.’ Nonetheless, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is certainly among, if not the, most popular deck used today, and however vague Waite is, it is an important work.
Part I outlines the Tarot’s assumed and actual history, and Waite’s accounts of other writers thesis on the origins of Tarot are interesting, though, of course, peppered with Waite’s usual snide remarks.
In Part II Waite gives a brief overview of the cards of the Major Arcana, with brief description of some of the symbolism, naturally vague and without expanding, and open to interpretation for the uninitiated, presumably assuming it is obvious to others.

Waite had sent a kindly, if a little unhelpful, reply, urging the young aspirant to read Madame de Steiger's translation of an eighteenth-century mystical work The Cloud on the Sanctuary.
In his earlier writings on alchemy Waite maintained that the spiritual interpretation of alchemy was first systematically presented by Mrs.
Waite, first in "The Key to the Tarot" (p.74), and again in "The Pictorial Key to the Tarot" (p.

I finally got the Rider Waite tarot and I was impressed with that, it was the first modern tarot card deck and it became the standard that all other decks are judged by.
Arthur Waite was a master of the arcane and a famous person and Golden Dawn member from its heyday in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Waite more than anyone, as co-author of the most frequently used deck in the last century, can take you into the mysteries surrounding the Tarot to help you better divinate the symbolism - especially if you are just developing your intuitive skills.

Waite's deck is good for both beginners and seasoned readers - it's easy enough to start with, but deep and complex enough for those who dig deep to find more and more meanings in it.
This deck and Waite's rather odd accompanying book remain classics of the genre not because of Waite's rather ditzy Golden Dawn orientation (or lack of it) but because of Coleman's informed but emotional take on the wide variety of symbols and nascent psychiatric images available to her.
For all A.E Waite did to attract English-speakers to notions of the esoteric doctrine, he did not offer a profound grasp of the true teaching, and his commentaries are evidence that he was more of an intellectual esoterist rather than a practical one.
